Launched last year RMP has brought innovation to the
business of packaged sports broadcast services through the use of
high-capability, small-format vehicles that take advantage of Ross Video’s
powerful Carbonite Series production switchers and XPression real-time motion
graphics system. That concept has enabled the company to provide cost effective
production services for mid-market sporting events on par with top tier
programming.

Cartoni fluid heads and tripods are an integral part of
RMP’s unique mobile production model. Both the Maxima and the Delta heads
combine ultra-light construction, smooth performance and ease of use, with a low price point. RMP is
using the Cartoni head in tandem with a variety of HD camera systems including
the Ikegami HDK-95C. “We’ve done a great job in identifying high-end, low-cost
alternatives for production, and Cartoni products are an excellent example,”
said Mitch Rubenstein, President of Ross Mobile Productions. “We have a lot of
confidence in the equipment.”
